8:19pm ET - Are you answering questions yet?
No. OK, now I am.
8:19pm ET - What do the Eagles need to do to win this game?
“Score more points than the other team.” (It never gets old.)
8:20pm ET - Good evening Mike, who you picking tonight?
Eagles. Not quite 44-6, but by more than 10 points.
8:22pm ET - Mike, during pregame Romo said he wont get a haircut until the boys lose, when is his next hair cut?
They might run the table; Romo apparently has realized that with short hair he looks like Gomer Pyle.
8:23pm ET - Hey Mike, missed you all week...
I tried to do a live chat of the World Series game but I fell asleep in the top of the first.
8:24pm ET - How about them Saints?
Twice now in 14 days they’ve been down by 14 or more and won the game by 10 or more.
8:24pm ET - Does the winner become the heavy favorite in the NFC East?
It’s too early to write off the Redskins, isn’t it?
8:25pm ET - How does the loss of Brian Westbrook affect the Eagles?
Not as much as you think. Peter King said last week that LeSean McCoy is about 94 percent of what Westbrook is right now. So it’s not a huge drop off.
8:31pm ET - Hi Mike, do you think LT will ever be back to his old self?
Nope. He’ll have flashes at times but he is clearly in decline.
8:32pm ET - This isn’t a question, this is a statement. I’m getting paid at work right now to watch SNF, can it get better than this? I guess it is a question.
Be careful, or the next question you’ll be asking someone is, “Are you hiring?”
8:34pm ET - Mike, what advantage do you see Philly having over Dallas tonight causing you to pick them as the winner?
Both have fattened up on weak teams. Home team gets the edge in this one.
8:37pm ET - Do the Titans have a chance to come back and make the playoffs?
Here’s your answer:
8:39pm ET - Do you honestly believe the Eagles will win tonight over the Cowboys?
No. I lie about that so when I’m wrong I can say that I was only kidding.
8:40pm ET - Mike, how hot is the seat for Mike McCarthy after the loss to Tampa?
I think that double chin already has melted away.
8:41pm ET - Tell me you checked the oil in the PFT VW bus this week.
Checked the oil? It runs on gasoline. Sheesh.
8:43pm ET - What will the chance of Urban Meyer going to Notre Dame instead of Jaguars?
Urban Meyer should stay where he is. He could be another Bowden or Paterno in Gainesville.
8:45pm ET - Which NFC team has been a more disappointing team lately: 49ers, Giants, or Bears?
Four straight losses including two at home and two on the road by more than 20 gives it to the Giants.
8:47pm ET - Hey Florio, with Bob Sanders being so injury prone for the Colts, do you think they’ll dump him after this season?
I think there’s a good chance of it, especially if they have success in the postseason without him. Besides, if there’s no salary cap in 2010, there would be no cap hit from cutting him. (That said, they’ll probably try to trade him before cutting him.)
8:48pm ET - Do the Cowboys fail to make the playoffs again this year? Answer my question, or it’s off to online poker for the night.
Poker? You hardly know ‘er.
8:49pm ET - Mike do you ever get into the schnapps during these chats?
Sorry for the delayed response. I spilled schnapps on the keyboard.
8:50pm ET - How many more games do the Redskins win this season?
Maybe only one. At Oakland.
8:53pm ET - Mike, what is the game of the week next week? Bengals-Steelers?
Patriots-Colts. On NBC, of course.
8:54pm ET - Mike, do you think Mike Holmgren will take the Browns job?
I wouldn’t rule it out, especially if he’s interested in becoming the coach there.
8:55pm ET - Florio what do you think of Josh Freeman?
I think he should have been the starter from Week One.
8:58pm ET - Do you think the Giants can bounce back? We have a 4th straight loss, and I want to know if we can make it to the playoffs.
The bye comes at a great time. They need to get things fixed. The schedule is no picnic the rest of the way. They probably need to go 5-2 or better. That’s a tall order.
9:01pm ET - Right now who do you take for the Super Bowl?
Patriots and Saints.
9:01pm ET - Besides the Saints in the NFC, who has a legit chance at the Superbowl?
Vikings, Cardinals. NFC East champ.
9:01pm ET - Is this live chat free, or do I have to pay?
It’s free. Unless you want to pay.
9:02pm ET - Florio, have you considered stand up? You could be the next Seinfeld.
I’d rather be the next Kenny Banya.
9:03pm ET - Mike, how long have you had this hair style?
Ever since my mom found a bowl that fits my head.
9:05pm ET - Why don’t you just pull an Ochocinco and change your name to Mike NBC.
I like it. Reminds me of “Mike Teevee” from Willie Wonka.
9:07pm ET - Will the Packers beat Dallas next week?
You mean that juggernaut that lost to the 0-7 Bucs?
9:07pm ET - Mike, what do you think about the job security of the Giants’ coordinators?
I think Tom Coughlin is going to pay Rex Ryan to punch Kevin Gilbride in the face.
9:08pm ET - Mike, do you see the any NFL team picking players from the UFL after their season is over?
Brooks Bollinger will get a shot, I think.
9:11pm ET - Where do you see Tim Tebow landing next year?
Jacksonville.
9:12pm ET - Are you the kind of person that blames flatuence on a pet?
No. But only because I don’t own a pet. (I blamed it on my son before he could talk.)
9:14pm ET - Do you see the Ravens earning a wild-card spot with a 10-6 record?
If they win 10 games, maybe. But they still play the Steelers twice and the Colts. And they go to Lambeau on a Monday night in December.
9:16pm ET - Mike, do you think there will be any repercussions from the Mike Smith and DeAngello Hall scuffle?
I think Mike Smith crossed the line. It’s another chance for the NFL to prove there’s no double standard. Or to prove that there is.
9:16pm ET - How does the Vikings day get any better than today?
Hopefully they won’t be celebrating with a boat party.
9:18pm ET - Where do you think Vick will be next year?
I think there’s a chance he’s out of the league. He has shown me nothing in 2009.
9:22pm ET - Mike, did you know that in the year 2012 we’ll all be dead, so none of this really matters?
As Jay Leno recently observed, if the Mayans were so adept at seeing the future, why didn’t they realize the Spanish were coming?
9:25pm ET - Do you think the Cards are going to the playoffs?
Yes, if they can win a few of the easy games. They should win the next three easily -- Seahawks, Rams, Titans. I bet they’ll lose at least one.
9:28pm ET - Do you think the Vikings can make plans to construct a trophy case?
Maybe for another George Halas trophy. I can’t seem them beating the Colts or Patriots.
9:29pm ET - Mike, do you think the Bucs should stick with the old school orange unis?
Yes, but I don’t think they can. Alternative uniforms can only be used for a specific number of times.
9:31pm ET - I love this net cast. Everybody should watch the cable cam to see how oblivious McNabb is to the coverage.
Does he even have any time to look at the coverage?
9:32pm ET - Is Gary Kubiak In the hot seat after today’s loss?
I think he’s on the hot seat regardless of today. If the Texans don’t make it to the playoffs, Kubiak could be gone.
9:35pm ET - When the ball is placed on the left or right hash mark, does that affect play calling?
At times but not as much as in college with the wider hash marks.
9:37pm ET - Speaking of Kubiak, is he right to bench Steve Slaton?
Yes . . . Slaton was fumbling too much and Ryan Moats was great last week.
9:38pm ET - Steelers or Denver tomorrow?
Close one. Steelers maybe.
9:41pm ET - After today’s antics by Anquan Boldin do you think they will trade him in this year’s draft ?
Not sure anyone will want him. He’s getting old and he’s injury prone and the last thing he should be doing is creating a disruption when the team is winning.
9:41pm ET - Should the Packers go back to the 4-3?
Only if it will cause the offensive line to give up fewer sacks.
9:42pm ET - What camera angle do you recommend to watch?
I prefer the cable cam, given the similarity to the Madden perspective.
9:43pm ET - Could Allen Barbe block you?
I would run between his legs.
9:46pm ET - Should Terrell Owens quit the NFL?
After this season, he might not have the option to quit.
9:48pm ET - If Boldin told the truth how is he wrong?
Sometimes a guy just needs to choose to shut up, even if he’s right. The married men in the crowd will agree.
9:50pm ET - You don’t think T.O. will get another opportunity, given that he has been good so far?
I think he’d have to settle for a low-salary contract with heavy incentives.
9:51pm ET - Is Adrian Peterson the best running back in the NFL?
He’s a close second to LenDale White.
9:52pm ET - What team gets the number one pick in the next draft?
With the Bucs finally winning, I think the Browns are in the driver’s seat.
9:54pm ET - Who do you think is the best quarterback in the NFL?
Peyton Manning. But Drew Brees is my midseason MVP.
9:55pm ET - Do you think T.O. would settle for that though?
What else would he do? He wants to be an actor but he’s even worse than Kramer.
9:56pm ET - Do you really think LenDale White is the best running back in the NFL?
Yes. And I’m not being sarcastic. Pardon my while I roll my eyes.
9:58pm ET - What team do you think will draft Sam Bradford?
Given that he’s Native American, I’m hoping that the Redskins draft him and that he refuses to sign a contract unless they change the name of the franchise.
10:01pm ET - Hey Mike, do you Twitter?
Only after eating chili. (Actually, yes -- we’re @ProFootballTalk.)
10:04pm ET - What you want for Christmas, Mike?
A new set of Yosemite Sam mud flaps for the ’68 WV Bus.
10:06pm ET - Do you think the New Orleans Saints will go undefeated?
I can’t imagine them not losing a single game. They still play at Atlanta and at Carolina. And the Patriots.
10:10pm ET - Why doesn’t NBC have a dancing robot like the other network?
Dwight Schrute recommended against it, given the possibility that it might turn on the humans.
10:17pm ET - I hope you picked up the tab for the Rosenthals when you went to dinner. Did Gregg order from the kid’s menu?
No but they carded him when he tried to order a glass of wine.
10:17pm ET - If you were the Dallas kicker, would you also wear gloves?
Maybe he is a hand model.
10:19pm ET - Will Jared Allen be this year’s defensive MVP?
Darren Sharper is in the mix too. Imagine how good the Minnesota defense would be if they kept him, and used him the right way.
10:24pm ET - What do you think about the situation in Cleveland?
I think the only thing keeping Randy Lerner from firing Eric Mangini is that by firing Mangini Lerner would essentially be admitting that he never should have hired him in the first place.
10:25pm ET - What the heck is happening to the Bears’ defense?
Injuries, age, bad game planning, bad adjustments, bad offense. Time for a new coach and G.M.
10:27pm ET - Which head coach has the best chance to be canned?
I think Mike McCarthy shot to the top of the list today.
10:29pm ET - Do you think the overtime rule in the NFL is fair?
No. Too much ends up riding on winning a coin toss. Why not give the team that gained the most yards on offense the choice? Anything other than something arbitrary like a coin toss.
10:30pm ET - Why do the Chargers have to dig themselves a hole every year to play well?
It’s not that they have to dig a hole. It’s that they just can’t get it going in September or early October.
10:32pm ET - Is Favre a top 3 quarterback of all time ?
Not enough championships. Win one more and maybe.
10:34pm ET - Do you think that McNabb will make it into the Hall of Fame?
Not without a Super Bowl win.
10:35pm ET - Do you like your job?
Is this really a “job”?
10:36pm ET - Were is Dan Marino on your list of top QB’s?
Below Montana, Elway, Favre, Brady, Manning.
10:37pm ET - How did you get this job?
I just showed up one day with a briefcase full of crackers.
10:39pm ET - Will T.O. play in Buffalo next year?
Highly unlikely.
10:40pm ET - Why is Marino so low on your list?
No Super Bowl wins.
10:46pm ET - Do Ravens have any shot at the playoffs now at 4-4?
Margin for error is small. The need to go 6-2, and they play the Steelers twice and the Colts.
10:49pm ET - Do you think the Florida Gators could beat the Cleveland Browns right now?
My son asks me questions like that all the time. I tell him I think the worst NFL team is still better than the best college team. The NFL consists of the best of the best college players over a 10-year period.
10:49pm ET - I have to say, SNF extra is just amazing. This is great!!!
And it’s awesome.
10:50pm ET - Is Randy Moss stiff arm to face mask legal?
Yes as long as he doesn’t grab it.
10:50pm ET - Are you at your house?
Actually, I’m at your house. You’re out of beer.
10:51pm ET - What’s your favorite hockey team Mike?
Pittsburgh Penguins.
10:53pm ET - What type of contract will Miles Austin get from Cowboys next year?
Without a salary cap, he’d be a restricted free agent only. The Cowboys would have a lot of leverage; they don’t have to use the franchise tag to keep him in place.
10:54pm ET - What do you have against the word awesome?
It killed my father. It must prepare to die.
10:56pm ET - Should QBs be protected by so many rules? Where does it end?
Quarterbacks are in a very vulnerable position. They have to ignore all self-preservation instincts when keeping their wits about them in the pocket. Also, if the starting quarterbacks get hurt the game is suddenly less appealing.
10:57pm ET - Hey Mike, aren’t you saying that because you’re jealous Marino gets to be in front of the camera while you’re stuck at a computer all day?
Yes. Jealousy is at the root of all human criticism. It has nothing to do with the fact that Marino never won a single NFL championship.
10:58pm ET - Is NBC going to stream SNF every sunday?
Yes.
11:01pm ET - Remember that time you got plagiarized by ESPN? That was awesome!
OK, now that was funny. If we could only get Chris Berman to sing, “Fat guy in a little coat,” my life would be complete.
11:03pm ET - Who are all the coaches on the hot seat?
Jauron, Mangini, Kubiak, Del Rio, Turner, Cable, Zorn, McCarthy, Lovie Smith, Fox, maybe Mora. Childress if the Vikes collapse.
11:04pm ET - How much pull do you have at NBC? Can you get me a date with Tina Fey?
Let me run it by her husband.
11:05pm ET - Why no Todd Haley on that list?
Haley isn’t getting fired after one year.
11:09pm ET - Where will LT play next season?
Nowhere.
11:09pm ET - Mike, tell your boss that the only reason I come to NBCSports.com is because of you.
Thanks. My wife will be happy to hear that.
11:10pm ET - Do you think Leslie Frazier should share some of the blame for the Vikings defensive struggles?
Yes. They get too soft in the second half. It’s like they relax because they think the offense will bail them out.
11:12pm ET - So you know her husband?
Yeah. He cuts my grass.
11:13pm ET - What’s your favorite type of potato chip?
The ones shaped like Terry Bradshaw’s head. So, basically, all of them.
11:13pm ET - Is Jeff Fisher not on the hot seat?
I forgot about him. Then again, Chris Johnson says the Titans will run the table.
11:19pm ET - Will Ron Turner have a job next year?
Yes, if Wal-Mart is hiring.
11:22pm ET - Who do you think is going to win this game right now?
Eagles. Romo always chokes in the clutch. McNabb merely vomits.
11:23pm ET - Why doesn’t Chris Johnson get more respect?
Because he runs his mouth too much.
11:27pm ET - Is hosting this chat more fulfilling than representing that woman who spilled a hot cup of McDonald’s coffee in her lap?
It was actually lukewarm soda. I probably shouldn’t have taken that specific case.
11:27pm ET - Why did my stream stop working?
Enlarged prostate?
11:28pm ET - Did you ever play organized football?
It was football. There were pads and helmets. Not sure how organized it was.
11:30pm ET - Who do you think will win this game now? ;)
Still Eagles.
11:35pm ET - Name five QBs who have no right being in the NFL.
JaMarcus Russell, Derek Anderson, Marc Bulger, Alex Smith, Jason Campbell.
11:36pm ET - When will you be on KFAN next?
Every Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. ET.
11:37pm ET - Who is likely to get first round byes in playoffs?
Colts, Steelers, Vikings, Saints.
11:39pm - Bad decision to go for the field goal and not the touchdown.
11:42pm ET - i would have gone for an onside kick afterward ... what you think?
Maybe Andy Reid assumes Romo will serve up a turnover.
11:43pm ET - Still think the Eagles are going to win?
Yes. Next week.
11:45pm ET - Game over.
Yep. Anyone who has played Madden knows that a first down with two minutes to go and no times outs for the other team equals game over.
11:49pm ET - I wonder if anybody ever bobbled a snap for a kneel down to turn over the ball.
Fortunately for Romo, that’s even more rare than fumbling the hold on a chip-shot field goal for a playoff win.
11:50pm ET - You going to bed now Florio?
I might watch Mad Men. After the Wendy’s Post Game Report, of course.
11:56pm ET - Thanks.
Thanks for hanging out with us tonight. See you next week for Patriots-Colts. That’s right .... Patriots-Colts.
